4.5 ARM System emulator

Use the executable qemu-system-arm to simulate a ARM machine. The ARM Integrator/CP board is emulated with the following devices:

• ARM926E, ARM1026E, ARM946E, ARM1136 or Cortex-A8 CPU
• Two PL011 UARTs
• SMC 91c111 Ethernet adapter
• PL110 LCD controller
• PL050 KMI with PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
• PL181 MultiMedia Card Interface with SD card.

The ARM Versatile baseboard is emulated with the following devices:

• ARM926E, ARM1136 or Cortex-A8 CPU
• PL190 Vectored Interrupt Controller
• Four PL011 UARTs
• SMC 91c111 Ethernet adapter
• PL110 LCD controller
• PL050 KMI with PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
• PCI host bridge. Note the emulated PCI bridge only provides access to PCI memory space. It does not provide access to PCI IO space. This means some devices (eg. ne2k_pci NIC) are not usable, and others (eg. rtl8139 NIC) are only usable when the guest drivers use the memory mapped control registers.
• PCI OHCI USB controller.
• LSI53C895A PCI SCSI Host Bus Adapter with hard disk and CD-ROM devices.
• PL181 MultiMedia Card Interface with SD card.

The ARM RealView Emulation baseboard is emulated with the following devices:

• ARM926E, ARM1136, ARM11MPCORE(x4) or Cortex-A8 CPU
• ARM AMBA Generic/Distributed Interrupt Controller
• Four PL011 UARTs
• SMC 91c111 Ethernet adapter
• PL110 LCD controller
• PL050 KMI with PS/2 keyboard and mouse
• PCI host bridge
• PCI OHCI USB controller
• LSI53C895A PCI SCSI Host Bus Adapter with hard disk and CD-ROM devices
• PL181 MultiMedia Card Interface with SD card.

The Luminary Micro Stellaris LM3S811EVB emulation includes the following devices:

• Cortex-M3 CPU core.
• 64k Flash and 8k SRAM.
• Timers, UARTs, ADC and I^2C interface.
• OSRAM Pictiva 96x16 OLED with SSD0303 controller on I^2C bus.
